Awesome

This place was great. A few of the sites are very open, but we found one that was a little off the road and they only had every other site open so it was very quiet and we had our own space. The bathrooms were spotless at all times, the site was clean and really well done, and we love that there are actual tent pads with raked rocks vs other grounds we’ve been to.

The views were spectacular, and we took the adventure to the reservoir.. even if you aren’t going out on the water, it’s worth the drive.

The only negative were the bees... they were were crazy!

Great campground

Rock Crossing Campground is, in my opinion, one of the best campground we have stayed. It has water and toilets near the camping grounds, which by the way are super clean. They have grill, fire pit, and a picnic table and bear safe storage.
